Some people say Paul Bunyan was the creation of storytellers from the middle western Great Lakes area of the United States. Other people say the stories about him came from French Canada.
Early in the 20th century, a writer prepared a collection of Paul Bunyan stories. They were included in a publication from the Red River Lumber Company in Minnesota. It is not known if the stories helped the company's sales, but they became extremely popular.Paul Bunyan是一个英雄一般的北美伐木工人，而他的工作正是伐木。他以力量、速度和技能著称。保守的说他完全有能力砍掉从东北美到太平洋的森林。
传说Paul Bunyan是北美五大湖地区最能创作故事的人，但也有一些人说这些故事都是关于他并在法属加拿大的。
在19世纪早些时候，一个作家出版了一套关于Paul Bunyan 的故事集，这些故事都是包含在位于Minnesota的红河伐木者公司的出版物。不知道这些故事算不算在公司的销售额中，但他们的确十分流行
